I know a song ain't good enough to let you know how I feel
I'll sing it hard, I'll sing it sweet, to let you know that it's real
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
All the things I say and do, everything I learn from you defeats me
And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I know it's wrong to blame the past for everything that I do
I fool the world most of the time but there's no fooling you
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
Everything I say and do, all I learn from you defeat me
And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down
What you see ain't always what you get
No matter how clear it seems
One minute lovers, then the next...
Oh oh no
Oh no
I let you down, yeah yeah
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down
Let you down
Never meant to hurt you, I don't know why
You come with your lawyers and your alibi
How can you look me straight in the eye
When you know
The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why
There you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
I never really knew you all these years
You lied to my face while I undressed your fears
Then you set me a-sail on an ocean of tears
Said goodbye
The clock on the wall is ticking real slow
There's nothing to say and there's nowhere to go
You know why
You know why
There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit, no no
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
It's a lie
Looking up to the truth of what you are
Blinding all colours and beauty
And the sparkle in your eye is blinding
The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why
Why, why, why, why, why, why
There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
It's a lie, lie
(The truth is, the truth is a lie)
(repeats in background)
And you never stopped loving me
Choaking back tears for you
So lovable
And we never go
And we never know
See I'm over
But I'm under
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
To where you are
